I wish they would make rail travel a sensible alternative. I would love to take the train, but after looking at the cost and time, it makes more sense for me to fly or drive to Washington, DC.

If I drive, it'll cost me the price of a hotel room for one night (each way - I figured it is about a 14 hour drive) and two gas fillups. Then I will still have my vehicle available when I get there.

If I fly, I'll get there in no time, but either have to depend on public transportation or rent a car.

We will be driving up in May.
